FujiFilm FinePix S4000 72 resolution
Jun 19, 2012 19:49:38 #
When I take a photo with my S4000 I can't get it to produce a photo with anything other than a 72 dpi resolution. My Nikon D7000 produces a photo with 300 dpi. I thought you needed 200 dpi or more to produce a decent quality print.
As far as I can see the S4000 doesn't have a menu option to change or increase the resolution. Any help will be appreciated.

Contact Fuji on their website and they should be able to help. I own 2 Fujis and love them.

I went on there website and downloaded the user manual and couldn't find an answer to my question.

There is probably nothing wrong with your camera.
I'll bet it's just set to 72 ppi.
Use a post processing program and recalculate it to 200 or 300ppi.

1st question,What quality are you shooting. Fine or something less? Also what size pictures,(Pixel count), are you downloading?
Where are you getting your resolution information?
Specs say you should be downloading pictures with resolutin of 4288 x 3216 at max quality. That's probably at 72 dpi. Reducing the image size should increase the dpi.

"The shadow knows."
I'd listen to him because I agree.

I'm shooting at fine quality setting and the largest size 4288 which is 10mp. I'm editing the photo in PSE10 and there it tells me that the resolution is 72 ppi.
When I increase it to 200 ppi PSE makes the file even larger than the original.
You can't print with any good quality at 72ppi can you?
Still confused.

When you set the ppi you need to link it to the inches.
There is a setting for that...I'm on an iPod and don't have access to photoshop at this time.

You could specify dimensions in inches and make sure Resample is NOT checked. Or in Image Size, make sure the Resample box is not checked and then type in 300 for PPI and see what size results. If the long side of your image is 4288 pixels, then 4288/300=14.29 inches.
Right now, at 72PPI, 4288 pixels would give you a 59 inch print.
The reason the file gets bigger when you do this is that you have the Resample box checked.

All that PPI does is affect the print size of the image. Using resampling will actually change the number of pixels (and the file size) in order to match the print size. With resampling, if you increase the PPI you will have pixels created. Creating pixels is a bad idea as they get generated by the computer and the results arent usually that good.
When printing a lower DPI would have fewer ink dots making up each pixel, which could make the colour look worse. A higher DPI would have more ink dots for each pixel and should give a more accurate colour.

I find the whole pixel/dpi/inches thing confusing, but I'm gradually getting the idea.

PPI = Pixels Per Inch from your camera
DPI = Dots Per Inch for your printer
They do not 'translate' equally.
I agree, it IS confusing!
Have you made a print? How does it look? That's the Main Question. IMHO, of course.
Good luck.

I have not made a print yet but was going to do so when I noticed the resolution coming out of the camera only to be at 72ppi. I can change it to 300ppi in PSE but why should I have to do that.
Why doesn't the camera allow me to set it to a higher resolution is my question. Like I stated, my D7000 generates a 300ppi photo. I can't get anything higher than 72ppi with the Fujifilm camera.
Thank you all for your feedback so far.

It is not the camera, it is the software that opens the image. Cameras do not know what PPI is. They only know X pixels by Y pixels.
I am confused - I indicated all you have to do is go to Image Size and type in 300PPi with Resample unchecked, did you do that? It sounds like you did, but wonder why you have to.
What is the software you use for opening the image? Do you start out for the original opening with PSE?
When you open the Image Size dialog, what are the dimensions in INCHES of your file?
Are you opening the images in Adobe Camera RAW? If you are, then perhaps the settings at the bottom of that page are set to open the image at 72PPI.
The point here is that it is not the camera, but the software that opens the image. Something is going on with some of your settings, I believe.
In any case, it is not unusual to change PPI prior to printing. Some labs like 250PPI, some want 300PPI, for canvas you could go to 150PPI and have it look fine.

In photoshop go to image-resize and uncheck constrain proportions, leave resample size checked and enter the number of inches you want the photo to be and the resolution 300ppi.
